Companies sell your data for money. Once your data is out there, it is at risk of being spammed and hacked. To safeguard your privacy while using online products, create an email alias to avoid potential spam or security risks on your primary email address
A temp or a disposable email creates a fake email id which can be used for a brief period of time (like 5-10 mins). However, if you wish to register for a product that you intend to use for a long period of time (Linkedin, Amazon, Netflix, etc.) you will need an email alias. An email alias will create a fake email id that will receive emails from the product on your behalf and forward to your main email id. Thus, your main email id will never be exposed to the product.
Currently, there is no paid plan and you can create as many email aliases as you want.
Yes, you can just reply directly to the emails received via HidemyID and the reply will be routed through our servers, removing any header information relating to your actual email address. You should ensure that the body of the mail does not contain any information that you do not want sent in the reply, i.e. any references to your real email address.
Currently, we do not support virtual phone numbers but we are working on it. Expect it to be live by the end of March 2024.
Yes, users from anywhere in the world can use Hidemyid to create temp email ids and virtual identities.
